According to researchers at the University of New Hampshire, more than one genetic pathway allows animals to adapt to survive in colder, desert-like environments and exist wi...

UNH Research: More Than One Way for Animals to Survive Climate Change   Newswise — DURHAM, N.H.— As climate change continues to trigger the rise in temperature, increase drier conditions and shift precipitation patterns, adapting to new conditions will be critical for the long-term survival of most species. Researchers at the University of New Hampshire found that to live in hotter more desert-like surroundings, and exist without water, there is more than one genetic mechanism allowing ani...
